Safety Information
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury, observe the following:
- Install this range hood in accordance with all specified instructions.
- Ensure the electrical supply matches the voltage and frequency specified on the rating label.
- Always disconnect power before servicing or cleaning the unit.
- Do not operate any fan with a damaged cord or plug. Discard fan or return to an authorized service facility for examination and/or repair.
- Adequate ventilation is necessary for proper combustion and exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel-burning equipment to prevent back-drafting.
- Clean grease filters frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
- Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

Setup and Installation
The Tieasy range hood supports both ducted and ductless installation modes. Choose the mode that best suits your kitchen's ventilation requirements.
Product Dimensions

Installation Modes
Visual representation of the two installation options: ducted mode with an exhaust pipe and ductless mode using carbon filters.
Ducted Mode
In ducted mode, the range hood exhausts air to the outside through an aluminum exhaust pipe (included). This method provides the most effective removal of cooking fumes and odors.

Ductless Mode
For kitchens without an external exhaust duct, the range hood can be converted to ductless mode. This requires the purchase and installation of an optional Carbon Filter Kit (Part # USCF-702). In this mode, air is filtered and recirculated back into the kitchen.

Mounting
The range hood is designed for under-cabinet mounting. Refer to the included hardware and instructions for precise measurements and secure attachment. Ensure the mounting surface is structurally sound to support the weight of the unit.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your range hood.
Cleaning Baffle Filters
The stainless steel baffle filters are designed to trap grease and are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning prevents grease buildup, which can reduce efficiency and pose a fire hazard.
- To remove filters: Locate the release latches on each filter, push them inward, and pull the filter down and out.
- Clean filters in a dishwasher or by hand with hot, soapy water.
- Ensure filters are completely dry before re-installing.
- To re-install filters: Insert the back edge of the filter into the slot, then push the front edge up until the latches click into place.

General Cleaning
Wipe the exterior surfaces of the range hood with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the stainless steel finish.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your range hood, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Unit does not power on: Check the power cord connection to the outlet and ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped.
- Fan is not operating: Verify the unit is powered on and the fan speed is selected. If using remote control, ensure batteries are functional.
- Lights are not working: Check if the light button has been pressed. If lights still do not work, they may require replacement (consult customer support).
- Poor suction: Ensure baffle filters are clean and not clogged with grease. For ductless models, check if carbon filters need replacement. Verify that the ducting (if ducted) is not obstructed or kinked.
- Excessive noise: Ensure the unit is securely mounted and all components are properly installed. Check for any loose parts or obstructions in the fan.
